A$AP Rocky moving closer to consortium move for Tranmere Rovers
Following A$AP Rocky's gun trial acquittal earlier this month it's now expected that he will move closer to taking over League Two side Tranmere Rovers as part of a consortium led by lawyer Joe Tacopina.
American investment has been massive across UK football in recent years with none bigger than Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney at Wrexham who have moved the club from Non-League to League One during their time in charge.
OLBG now look at who could join A$AP Rocky in the consortium that is taking over at Tranmere with his partner Rihanna unsurprisingly the odds-on favourite.
Rihanna supported Rocky throughout his trial on two felony counts of assault with a semiautomatic firearm and she could support him as he takes the next step of his career by heading into football ownership in the UK.
| Who will join A$AP Rocky and takeover Tranmere Rovers? | Odds* | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Rihanna | 1/4 | 80.0% |
| Kendrick Lamar | 2/1 | 33.3% |
| Tyler The Creator | 4/1 | 20.0% |
| Metro Boomin | 6/1 | 14.3% |
| Future | 8/1 | 11.1% |
What the expert says...
Jay-Z still tops odds to invest in a UK Football Club
OLBG had previously looked at the betting odds for who could be the next rapper to purchase a UK Football Club after ASAP Rocky's expected investment in Tranmere.
Jay-Z was the 4/1 favourite back in October with his Roc Nation Sports management company having massive names on their books such as Kevin De Bruyne, Reece James and Marcus Rashford.
The rapper has previously been linked with a move for Tottenham and he's now shortened further into 3/1 to be the next rapper to move for a UK Football Club next.
| Who will be the next rapper to purchase a UK Football Club? | Odds* | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Jay-Z | 3/1 | 25.0% |
| Kendrick Lamar | 4/1 | 20.0% |
| Drake | 4/1 | 20.0% |
| 50 Cent | 5/1 | 16.7% |
| Ice Cube | 6/1 | 14.3% |
| Kanye West | 7/1 | 12.5% |
Tranmere now 25/1 to make the Premier League under A$AP Rocky's ownership
Tranmere Rovers currently sit in 22nd place in the League Two table this season with just two points between them and the relegation zone.
Rovers will be hoping that the expected takeover from the Joe Tacopina consortium will turn their fortunes around and see them fly up the football pyramid.
The betting odds go 25/1 that Rovers reach the Premier League under the ownership of A$AP Rocky with a massive turnaround needed to do so.
| What will be the highest level Tranmere reach under A$AP Rocky? | Odds* | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Premier League | 12/1 | 7.7% |
| Championship | 2/1 | 33.3% |
| League One | 1/1 | 50.0% |
| League Two | 8/11 | 57.9% |
